Funding transit by payroll tax is unfair and bad policy

[On transit funding]: "I believe Oregon is overdue to improve our transportation infrastructure but this plan is the wrong way to do it. I'm strongly opposed to a new 'Tesla Tax' to subsidize electric cars for a privileged few. Further, a new payroll
tax which will reduce the take-home pay of working Oregonians, to fund transit in a few communities is unfair and bad policy. I have concerns about how billions of dollars will be spent by an agency which still lacks accountability and transparency."
